Chapter 8. Aboriginal Water Values and Uses
Chapter 8. Aboriginal water values and uses Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning 8. Aboriginal water values and uses The Murray-Darling Basin Plan requires Basin states to identify objectives and outcomes of water, based on Aboriginal values and uses of water, and have regard to the views of Traditional Owners on matters identified by the Basin Plan. Victoria engaged with Traditional Owner groups in the Water Resource Plan for the northern Victoria area to: • outline the purpose, scope and opportunity for providing water to meet Traditional Owner water objectives and outcomes through the Murray-Darling Basin Plan • define the role of the water resource plans in the Basin, including but not limited to the requirements of the Basin Plan (Chapter 10, Part 14) • provide the timeline for the development and accreditation of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • determine each Traditional Owner group’s preferred means of engagement and involvement in the development of the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan • continue to liaise and collaborate with Traditional Owner groups to integrate specific concerns and opportunities regarding the water planning and management framework. • identify Aboriginal water objectives for each Traditional Owner group, and desired outcomes The Water Resource Plan for the Northern Victoria water resource plan area, the Victorian Murray water resource plan area and the Goulburn-Murray water resource plan area is formally titled Victoria’s North and Murray Water Resource Plan for the purposes of accreditation. When engaging with Traditional Owners this plan has been referred to as the Northern Victoria Water Resource Plan and is so called in Chapter 8 of the Comprehensive Report. -

Corangamite Heritage Study Stage 2 Volume 3 Reviewed
CORANGAMITE HERITAGE STUDY STAGE 2 VOLUME 3 REVIEWED AND REVISED THEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY Prepared for Corangamite Shire Council Samantha Westbrooke Ray Tonkin 13 Richards Street 179 Spensley St Coburg 3058 Clifton Hill 3068 ph 03 9354 3451 ph 03 9029 3687 mob 0417 537 413 mob 0408 313 721 [email protected] [email protected] INTRODUCTION This report comprises Volume 3 of the Corangamite Heritage Study (Stage 2) 2013 (the Study). The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format. -
Yuranga Aboriginal Network Mildura Local Aboriginal Network
YURANGA ABORIGINAL NETWORK MILDURA LOCAL ABORIGINAL NETWORK COMMUNITY PLAN 2020 OFFICIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RESPECT TELKI NGAWINGI (Latji Latji for Good Day) We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional owners of this Country and the Elders who have passed into the Dreaming and Elders present today who have survived the impacts of Colonisation. Our Elders are the Cornerstone of our communities and we pay our Respect to them, their journeys, their strength and their Resilience. If it were not for them, we would not be here. OFFICIAL The Yuranga Local Aboriginal Network in Mildura was established in 2008, as part of the then Victorian Government’s New Representative Arrangement for Aboriginal People living in Victoria. The LAN’s original Community Plan was Titled: “The Mildura Local Indigenous Network – The Yuranga Aboriginal Committee, Community Plan.” It’s overarching framework was the VIAF of the time. Local Aboriginal Networks (LANs) bring Aboriginal people together to set priorities develop community plans and improve social connection. Our Mildura LAN has an Aboriginal name, which means “bend in the river.” The LAN in Mildura has been active within the Mildura community and over the years has held a number of Projects and supported others, however we have worked with the local Mildura Rural City Council and have produced a video that sits on the AV Website. MRCC have endorsed our Community Plan and it also sits on their Website along with all of the Geographical Community Plans, as the Municipality’s first Cultural Plan. Our LAN now has approximately 212 participants and there are 39 LANs in the State of Victoria. -

Australasian Hydrographic Society
ARTICLE Australasian Hydrographic Society Early Hydrography Recognised Willem Janszoon Monument Unveiled in Canberra The last project commemorating the 400th anniversary of Australia first being charted took place recently in the leafy suburb of Griffith, within the Australian Capital Territory. On Saturday 20th October 2007, a three-in-one –launch was held: with the inauguration of the Willem Janszoon Commemorative Park, the issue of the Explorer’s Guide for a series of local walks and the unveiling of a Willem Janszoon Monument. The launch was organised by Australia On The Map (AOTM). Griffith and the surrounding suburbs, a predominantly diplomatic district, have the distinction of having nearly all the streets named after hydrographers, explorers or their ships. From Bass to Bougainville, from Van Diemen to Vancouver, from Cook to Carstensz, the list of avenues and boulevards include names such as Torres, Flinders, Moresby, La Perouse, Dalrymple, Hartog and, in all, totals some 150 streets and byways. Amongst such esteemed company, the dedication of a major park and monument in Janszoon’s name bares testament to his unique achievement in being the first European to chart the Australian coast, a feat he accomplished when he surveyed over 300 kilometres of Cape York in 1606. Similar to the long-awaited unveiling of the Willem de Vlamingh Monument in Perth, Western Australia, four days earlier, it has taken a long time to raise money, design and build the sculptured monument and, of course, obtain necessary sanctions and approvals. Both projects were meant to have been completed in 2006, but the end results were worth the wait. -

Dark Emu ‘Hoax’: Takedown Reveals the Emperor Has No Clothes
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dark Emu ‘hoax’: takedown reveals the emperor has no clothes Author Bruce Pascoe. • Victoria Grieve-Williams • July 2, 2021 There is much terrible irony in Dark Emu’s struggle to shoehorn classical Aboriginal Australia into the supposedly advanced world of agriculture.” - Peter Sutton Can the Dark Emu scandal be explained by the fact that Australians seem inordinately susceptible to a good old-fashioned literary hoax? From the infamous Ern Malley affair through to Norma Khouri and Helen Demidenko, we seem to have an appetite for being misled. There are examples in the Aboriginal world, too. Ian Carmen, a white taxidriver from Adelaide, posed as a Pitjantjatjara survivor of the Stolen Generation, Wanda Koolmatrie, to write an “autobiography” called My Own Sweet Time. This book was used as a text for the NSW Higher Schools certificate curriculum. In 2014, Bruce Pascoe, exhibiting zeal and showmanship, produced a book that has now sold more than 260,000 copies. Surprise, it says that we Indigenous Australians are more like white people, and therefore, somehow, more sophisticated than “mere” hunter-gatherers. Well thanks, but no thanks. Pascoe’s thesis went entirely against my lived experience, learning as a child to the “summer” and “winter” camps of my mother’s people. They moved to the Barrington 2 Mountains, even in snow, for fatter game and thicker furs, and returned to the coast for the mullet runs in spring, feasting and meeting with other groups. The bunya bunya from the giant cones in the bunya tree, and the huge mulloway my grandfather caught, kept the family alive during the Depression. -

The Mystery of the Deadwater Wreck
The Mystery of the Deadwater Wreck By Rupert Gerritsen Abstract Historical research indicates there may be the remains of a 17th century Dutch shipwreck in part of an estuarine system in the south west of Western Australia. A variety of highly credible informants described the wreck in the 19th century, yet is seems to have ‘disappeared’. This paper endeavours to explain what happened to the wreck, why it ‘disappeared’ and where it is now. In 1611, as the Dutch were building their trading empire in the East Indies, one of the captains of the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC), Hendrik Brouwer, tested out the idea that the Indies could be reached more quickly and easily by sailing due east from the Cape of Good Hope, following the Roaring Forties across the southern Indian Ocean, and then turning north to make for Java. The experiment was a great success, it halved the time such voyages took, and in 1616 the VOC officially adopted the ‘Brouwer Route’ and instructed their captains to follow it. Unbeknownst to them, the Brouwer Route took them very close to the west coast of Australia. At that time all that was known of Australia was 250 kilometres of the west side of Cape York in northern Australia, charted by Willem Janszoon in the Duyfken in 1606. Following the Brouwer Route, Dutch ships soon began encountering the west coast of Australia, the first being Dirk Hartog in the Eeendracht in 1616. Hartog landed at Point Inscription on 25 October 1616 and left behind an inscribed pewter plate, now held by the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands, signifying his historic ‘discovery’.
